Michelle Madow

She__ been let down enough times to know not to believe in fairy tales.

What if she told him how she felt, and he didn__ feel the same? She could lose him forever.

Her family was counting on her__o be responsible, to get good grades, to follow the rules, to be the good example. And more important, she expected those things of herself.

The vastness of possibilities in space reminded me that while my life felt important, it was tiny in the scheme of things. Human civilization was only a blink on the radar of time.

I loved looking at the stars__hey put in perspective how small I was compared to the Universe. Each of those hundreds of billions of stars was its own sun. It could have its own solar system of planets orbiting around it, and some of those planets could even contain life. The vastness of possibilities in space reminded me that while my life felt important, it was tiny in the scheme of things. Human civilization was only a blink on the radar of time. Did anyone else have these moments of amazement over the existence of humanity, when they are in awe of how they are here, and alive, even if it__ only for a short while?

There was always something to learn from listening to and understanding people´s viewpoints.

Savannah__ breath caught in her chest at the realization of how close they were standing. He brushed a strand of hair off her face, his finger leaving a line of heat across her cheek. If they hadn__ been surrounded by people, she would have thought he was about to kiss her. Or maybe he was about to kiss her. Right here, in front of everyone.

Everyone might think Lizzie's an angel, but I knew better. She was selfish, and she was going to pay.

But life wasn't a fairy tale, and I had no problem doing what was necessary to get what I wanted, even if it meant playing dirty.

I wanted it more than enough. I wanted it with every fiber of my being, and I had the power to make it happen - to make it so I was the one Drew wanted, not Lizzie

Soul mates, I've always believed in, so I accepted the truth there. But curses? That was extreme. There had to be a place where the line was drawn between fiction and reality, and a curse sounded way more on the fiction side of the spectrum.

Judging from the unfamiliar number, I assumed the text came from Shannon. If not, I would see who came by my house at 4:30 and go with it. Maybe it would be Mr. Darcy coming to pick me up in an extravagant horse-drawn carriage, but I couldn__ picture Mr. Darcy using a cell phone.

I just hope we don__ cause a major paradox.

Have you ever met someone and felt like you__e known them forever?

Our connection was like a hidden force pulling us towards one another, and resisting it took a strength that I didn__ know I could keep up for much longer.

You__e everything to me__ou always have been, and you always will be. Always and forever.

Feeling like I had to lose you for the second time..._ He shook his head, and I thought I saw tears under his eyes. __ don__ think I could bear it. You__e everything to me, Elizabeth.

My feelings for Drew couldn't just disappear. They were ingrained within every fiber of my being, and I needed them just the same as I needed air to breathe.
